I Am Legend

This would have made a far better movie what an amazing book.

there were a mixture of emotions but it was written so well and narrated so well I loved it

I enjoyed this book a great deal. Very different from the movie. I think Neville's unpacking of his emotions and grief were at times exhausting, but lended new layers to his character and were necessary.

It was completely different from the movie and deeper. The narrator, however, lacked the range of voice in comparison with narrators like Frederick Davidson.

I felt the book was entertaining. It is far different from the movie in that the book portrays the infected as vampires. It really went into detail how one might react if placed in a situation where you are living out your days as the last of your kind while simultaneously trying not to get killed in the process. I would recommend this audio book to others, as long as you are not expecting to get more detailed version of the Will Smith movie. The narrator did a great job carrying the story along. All in all I give this audio book two thumbs up.

I couldn't stop listening to this book. Great book.

The book was much different from the movie. Can't decide if that is good or bad as it is comparing apples to oranges IMO. It is interesting but if you want a longer version of the movie then you may want to skip it as the plot varies greatly between the 2.

For those of us that can remember "The Twilight Zone" and "Outer Limits" this book would remind most of us of that kind of writing. The psychological aspect of the story played a big part. Is this the first appearance of Zombies in modern literature? They weren't called zombies in this book but they fit the description. And this may have been one of the first last man on earth stories. Several firsts. Well read.

One of the rare times that the movie was better than the book. Far better. The book turned out to be a second rate vampire story. The movie had more richness of plot and character. I decided to read the book hoping I would get even more of that. Very disappointed.

I did not care for the movie but I loved the book. It was a psychological map on how to deal with the fact that you are the last living man who survives a plague. I liked how it described the different stages of how the hero accepted his fate. The end was dark and grim, but very realistic, no fairy tale.
